GETTING STARTED

To successfully remove a large tree from your property, you'll need a range of tools.  The tools you'll need to use for any large lopping include:

• A cherry picker to reach the tallest branches.
• A small chainsaw to make more precise cuts in smaller branches.
• A pole pruner to reach branches that are further away.
• A large chainsaw to cut through the thicker parts of the trunk.
• A wood chipper to create mulch.
• A log splitter to make bigger bits of wood easier to transport/deal with.
